Hey Guys, this is my brother's 1958 Dodge Power Wagon. We've started the process of taking it apart for restoration. Check it out! =)

The cutting wheel ... man's best friend.

First truck I ever drove as an apprentice in 1967.

Hey CT, it is so cold up here in PA. I am a Florida boy at heart. I went to school for chemical engineering at USF and eventually got my PhD. I would gladly offer my help when I move back down. I sold my house on Siesta Key when My mom got M.S. and I moved home. I really regret it now. I love seeing the sunny weather in your and Lord Duckman's videos....lol

I just love these restoration series, i learned how to never miss the oportunity to buy another shitbox before finishing the last. Keep up the good work.

What about the rusty bug? I would like to see the project finished before another’s begun.

This truck is great. But, I hope you finish the Beetle. I really enjoyed watching that each week.

Start as many unfinished projects as makes you happy. All viewers that need YOU to finish them need to start and finish their own.

Nice work. It's oddly relaxing on a cold winter night watching the process unfold. Thanks for letting us watch.👍

I'm looking forward to the complete rebuilding of the 315 Poly head engine. Not an engine swap. When you remove the pitman arm from the steering box mark it's position with a center punch or chisel.

You will have to build a new barn for all the project parts off each project I think you have 7 on the go now, will we ever see one finished???

Did I miss the finish of the VW? Where's the bug?

A '58 v8 4x4 in that classic 50's turquoise. This was a hell of a truck when new and i hope you guys can get her back to her original glory. You never see these old 50's dodges fixed up anymore

Kudos to the dude who forced the stick shifter to move but did not push the clutch in. Have fun fixing the tranny too.

Just a piece of cake,uff...

Something so satisfying about using a grinder. I think its the sparks! 2:40

"We are getting there."

I like the vibe of your channel, CT. You’re living the dream. I don’t care which car you work on or if any get finished. It’s relaxing and entertaining just watching you do your thing. Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice and Solid, can see that its from the Route 66 area, i.e. Pacific SW. The cars and trucks from there have beautiful Sunrust, i.e. NO rot. Keep it up! 2:40 Love the grinding, I think its the sparks

Classic CT - get moving and motivated on one project and BAM! he’s switching it up to another project. Always something new and interesting! 👍🏽

This was same year Dodge truck used in 1964 movie Roustabout that brought back Elvis's 1964 Honda 305 Superhawk motorcycle after it was fixed. Now the truck is worth saving.........

I just bought one the same year. not sure i want to go that far. Cannot wait for more videos

Looks like A lot of fun if you enjoy this kind of fun ,

COSTA RICA...super very beautifull truck

Give it up CT since you never seem to finish anything… why even bother ! Was looking forward to more episodes towards a finished V W, but alas another unfinished rusty bungle. A couple of weeks back it was the Porsche.

You probably should spray all of the bolts/nuts down with Kroil, or even WD40 before you tackle them. For the steering wheel, I would try drilling out the holes for the next size and re-tap. Try using a fine thread tap first, as they require a slightly larger hole, and you might cut threads enough to pull the wheel. When I first started wrenching in 1959-60 I didn't know crap, but was willing to learn, and my Dad was a fountain of information, from when he was a farm boy about my age. My first procedure was to keep pulling out bolts 'till the part I wanted fell off! I remembered this when you were working on the bed!

Nice! Owned a 1948 Power Wagon panel truck. No syncromesh, no power steering, the air boost for the brakes had died long ago so driving it was a free workout every time. On one road trip a buddy tried to drive it and quit before we'd gone twenty miles.

Them rims and tires looks like they were on a military truck 🤔

Tip ....Soak your bolts/nuts with penatrene and then slightly tighten before loosening after wire brushing the thread.....Saves time and usually doesn't require the use of cutting devices

SUPER RARE!!!! SWEEEEET! I MISS THEM OLD DAYS LIKE BACK IN 1978, FULL FRAME UP ON MY 53 GMC 5 WINDOW. IM TOO OLD NOW, ARTHRITIS, BAD BACK, KNEE, LIFES BADGES OF HONOR I GUESS FOR BEING A GEARHEAD. AT LEAST I FINISHED MY 31 KOOP IN 2018 BEFORE I GOT TOO RIKKITY. MAN ITS BITTERSWEET NOT BEING PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PULL OLD STEEL OUT AND WORK ON IT ANYMORE. .... HAVE FUN , I WILL BE WATCHING... "RACE"

what happened to the vw

I can’t wait to see more on this one… it looks so cool

I see you started a new project. Are you going to finish the VW?

i used to have this exact truck. 1958 W200 with a 318 poly swapped in. man i miss that truck. a friend of mine has a '58 D100 and i've taken 3 or 4 of these trucks apart. so if you need information or parts just ask. we might have it.

Good video! Can't wait for the pressure washing of the chassis!

Love it! I have one of them as a dually W300 I desperately need a drivers side fender

Love those old power wagons!!

It sure is nice when you start out with a RUST FREE Truck like that one.....WOW that will be some work. I hope they make lots of parts for it.

Drill the next size larger hole into the steering wheel flange and tap them to that size, then use that size bolts to help remove the wheel. You might have to fabricate a few other pieces such as the steel plate that the two new bolts go thru. there is likely a large bolt the goes toward the center of the steering column to back the wheel off of the steering column shaft.

Love the cinematography!

Looks like nice warm weather there been very cold where I live. :-(

I have a 58 power wagon power giant, the frames are post war quality ,so i put mine on a 68 w 300 frame. the power giant were the fist 4 + 4 civilian made trucks. only made for 4 years, around 5000 made in total, your V8 is the first 318 big block or also known as the mini HEMI. It will be a head turner when you are done.

It was fun watching you do all that work. What's going on with all your other projects? Give us an update.

As the late wrestler THE MANCHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE once said OH YEAH

I wish you would finish one project before another one get used to seeing work done on a project and you move to something else

are you going to finish a car

That truck looks great can't wait till you start cleaning it get

This generation of the Dodge Power Wagon was manufactured until 1966, especially with the panel trucks. I can wait to see how you do with yours, or your brother's for that matter.

That’s pretty cool CT!!

Que belleza amigo estas haciendo un buen trabajo te felicito dejala vien bonita a esa Reliquia

very motivating thanks for the great videos 👍🏻

Hermosas líneas y modelo, restaurado quedará espectacular, a trabajar!

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho é ótimo, só nunca os vi pintados

I have been a long time subscriber to all your videos. You have four or five projects on the way and none of them will be completed. Let's go back to Rusty.

Any late 1955 to 1958 cab will have the wrap around windshield and the same dashboard. Instruments are a little different. '59 and '60 are the same cab with a dashboard they used up to the early seventies on LCF heavy truck series.

CT Thank You again It is a great vídeo You make My sundays better

y que paso con la restauración del beetle ???????

Thanks CT ! Live Life ! Straight Ahead ✌😎

Nice truck!

Excellent video CT :) that truck Steering wheel take have drill screw in those small hole with Carpbite drill also use big thingers outter part and bolt in middle squish out if didn't work you have get newer type GM , Ford, Dodge Steering wheel plus shaft and box near engine be task but I know want do it ! Also Engine, transmission will be need rebuild and clutch to do agree that plus wire harness to rewrire to also ! Looking forward more videos too soon CT :) great disassemble tear down!

One badass project

Yes it would be nice seeing more on the projects you already started but this one is your brother's and he is cool with storing all these vehicals there so as long as you keep the content coming I'm happy😊 eventually you'll run out of room and you'll have to finish or sell them🤣🤣

Hope to see more of this.

Very cool project.

Love your channel CT but can see this ending up the same as all your other unfinished projects. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

I'll miss that green & rust but it will be amazing when restored 👍

I really enjoy this keep it up!

Heck yeah nice work!

Scrap the Power Wagon Clyde 😄

Waooo duro trabajo para una sola persona

Good luck!

Wow can't wait to see this running and driving it looks like good bones

That poor thing... love it.

E o fusca? Rsrsrsrs.

I enjoy your videos a lot. I seldom add any comments but I should oughta as I'm 79 and have been around for a bit. Couple of things here. Most 6 volt system were positive ground. I have been seeing several videos recently where the guy doing the work obviously did not know that. Also, get some 6 point sockets. don't have to be impact sockets unless you are using impact wrenches. In this video there were several instances where the nuts or bolt heads were rounded off by using `12 point sockets or wrenches. 12 points are fine for non-rusted fasteners but they will cause extra time and effort on rusty ones. That's all minor, keep up doing what you're doing.

Get her done it's going to be awesome truck

CT, just admit you have money issues as to why you hold back in completing your projects. There's no shame in admitting that.

Looking good keep it up I enjoy

Camionete antigas e muito top 😃😃😃

Hola !!!, muy buen video como siempre, perdón, pero me hizo reír mucho el desarme súbito de la caja de carga......

Znowu kolejny złom który zapewne nie skończy.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

Don’t give up on it!!

I’m not even gonna read the comments cuz I know there is gonna be a lot of negative Nancy’s. Everyone wants to be a critic but who is putting in work on their own projects and making videos about it…? I see your channel as free entertainment so why should I complain? If I don’t like it I wouldn’t watch it. 😁 keep doing what ever you want CT and people are still gonna watch so who cares. I would enjoy seeing at least one project get completed but again it’s free (kinda, I just got premium) entertainment and I enjoy watching your shenanigans.

Set in cab with khees behind wheel to help pull and put a block of metal on steering shaft and while lifting with your knees hit the block with a bfh and it should pop off.

The hard thing about it will be finding some of the parts. I wish you luck and maybe the two of you will can work on his truck. If the engine is not repairable, might just do a frame and engine swap with newer Dodge. You then could have all of the newer accessories and parts available with look of the old truck. Maybe even Hemi. This would leave you the body work to do. His call, his truck but either way it will be adventure.

man you making my back hurt you have a lift there dont get hurt

CT, I found your Channel cause of the Beetle, I own two later Beetles, too, I'm a complete VW-maniac. But I got stuck here, no matter what piece of rust is in process. 🙂 The way you act, this easygoing way, always laughing when things happen, it's different to so many YT-channels here with guys in loud and hectic.. Keep going on, and all the best from Germany, nearby Wolfsburg.....

What happend with f100??

10:05 Болгарка- лучший ключ! ))))

Bom dia é ótimo projeto que se inicia e cadê projeto do fusca

You should take restoration out of the title. This guy has 215k followers just to watch him disassemble things and never put them back together.

The Dodge Powerwagon Dump truck LOL!

Saludos de México ct

Well, Mr. CT, here we are back again.. Damn, it looks built like a tank... I bet the thickness is at least 1mm if not even 1,5.. Did I guess wrong? Seems pretty straight forward, just a lot crunchy.. 🙃What else to expect on a 60+ years old machine for farm use?! Hehe, da, rusty crusty.. About the steering wheel: it should be mounted on a spline gear inset, so in your case, when the bolts threads are ripped or rusted, I would try to apply tension with some straps on the wheel hub outside upwards, as much as you can without ruining it, then with a compressor jackhammer and with a point, the same diameter as the internal hole, as flat as possible, vibrate it downwards. Obviously soak the crap out of it first with penetrator.. Heat is out of the game, unless you want to destroy all plastic parts. Given the situation, I strongly suggest you don't try to run or turn the engine, untill you crack the head and see what's inside. Missing spark plugs are a recipe for water and other stuff getting in, so ... emm...it's more than likely corroded to some degree. Cheers, keep on. 😉

I know by now, we see a lot of content for a few years😉👍😎

Im not positive, but I think that truck is a W100. The front fenders on the W200 come down below the bottom of the cab a good ways.

Some of the old 50's vehicles had positive ground hard to say how they kept up with that at the corner gas station repair.

Cool truck ,hoping plenty of spares out there but maybe cab is fixable ? Wings (fenders)didn’t look to bad to repair

Ржавчина зачастую прочнее металла!

channels growin like wild fire.......keep tearing stuff up!
